SUMMARY

Near-field communication technology renders a helpful way of adding programmed information onto NFC tags or stickers. By adapting or embedding these NFC tags or stickers onto a set of products such as signs, stickers, eyewear frames, and eyewear accessories, we devise a method to deliver product and service information to patients and customers. In the past, NFC devices were used as electronic identity documents, keycards, and contactless payment systems allowing mobile payment to replace or supplementing systems such as credit cards and electronic ticket smart cards. The idea is to use this same technology to create marketing techniques and service connections between a programmer of the information and the user. The programmer can be a person from a factory, business, pharmacy, optical retailer store, and/or health care providers office.

Furthermore, any health care provider such as an optometrist or ophthalmologist may be a NFC programmer as long as they have a NFC mobile application and a smartphone device. The health care provider program set NFT tags or stickers on the product to link their patients to medical prescription, medical prescription instruction, spectacle prescriptions, spectacle prescription instructions and/or contact lens prescription information. The ability to use NFC tags or stickers embedded or adapted to signs, stickers, eyewear frames, medication containers, and eyewear accessories to deliver vision prescriptions, mobile app links, weblink connections, product information, synergistic marketing, appointment scheduling links, and/or virtual audio telemedicine enables the user to access information fast and accurately.

The following embodiment involves a system and method for using a selected group of products 33 where the products 33 have embedded or adapted near field communication tags 1 that are used to deliver user 40 with at least one of the following information, health care provider 15 prescriptions use information, loyalty points, eye exam prescriptions, product information, health care provider 15 appointment scheduling and/or virtual audio telemedicine direct connections. Where set products 33 with its NFC tags 1 or stickers 24 can be programmed by any person with a smartphone mobile application from at an online optical store, online optical retail store, optical retail store, health care provider 15 office, optometry office, and/or any business. Where the programmed links may be at least one of the following to (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL, IPFS 48, non-fungible tokens 71 (NFT), cryptocurrency token 71, transaction hash 47, digital coupons 69, virtual eye doctor connection 59, virtual seller connection 59, loyalty programs, and/or access at least one mobile application. Where the combination of ways to deliver information with set products 33 enables a multi form of marketing 12 to customers or patients is via with a user 40 with a smartphone 41 (action of tapping 3) onto the NFC tags 1.

Where during the embodiment of the system and method, we will use the word (user 40) to mean customers or patients. Where via the tapping 3 or scanning 3 of the NFC tags 1 the links the user 40 to at least one of the following information, medication use information, eyewear data, loyalty programs, advertisement flyers 60, health care provider 15 scheduling service information, a website and/or a video audio telemedicine connection. The following is described in such a way that one should understand as the presentation and utilization of such patient retention marketing 12 strategies illustrate various uses of the inventions. Rather than dividing the system and method of the inventions into multiple separate patent applications, we have arranged these inventions into a single document because the associated matter presents itself as a combination of techniques, use, and methods for the system to operate.

The following involves using at least one portable electronic device with a mobile application that can be used by a human from a factories, businesses, health care provider 15 offices, optical retail shops, optometry offices, pharmacies, or more near field communication tags or chips 27 that are embedded or adapted to at least one or more products 33 including signs 10, stickers 24, eyewear, eyewear accessories 4 and medication containers 9 to provide information via web (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL links and/or IPFS 48 Inter Planetary File System links. These near-field communication tags or stickers 24 are covered with heat and and/or weatherproof 26 material and are embedded to a list of products 33. NFC 1 stands for near-field communications and goes by the acronym NFC 1. NFC 1 is simply a set of standards for smartphones to establish communication with each other by bringing them into near distances, typically zero to five centimeters. It establishes ability to send and acquire information.

The general use of NFC 1 technology has been seen in NFC 1 badges for entrance access, social media links stickers 24 using NFC tags 1, and NFC 1 technology on smartwatches, cards, and smartphones for payments. This is becoming to be normalized due to the ease of use with portable electronic devices and information exchange at small distances such as QR codes. Communication is possible between an NFC 1 device and an unpowered NFC 1 chip 27, called a tag or sticker. NFC 1 is a technology that allows a user 40 to (wave, scan 3, or tap 3) a tablet or smartphone over an NFC 1 tag or sticker to communicate programmed information and over a short range as long as the portable electronic device is compatible.

During the explanation of the invention, we will use the word (scan 3) to suggest (waving or tapping 3 with an NFC compatible portable electronic device onto a NFC tag 1 or sticker). During this description of the embodiment, we will include NFC tags 1 to mean near-field communication stickers 24 or tags. Our method and system involve using NFC tags 1 or stickers 24 embedded no to particular products 33 to create ease to link users 40 or prospective customers or patients with a particular list of programmed link information. The idea involves accommodating user 40 with the ability to access other types of information and access points using NFC tags 1 links systems where information to the user 40 with NFC 1 compatible computing devices can link to video/audio 59 communication linking, mobile application links, website (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL, blockchain smart contract 46 links, distributed acyclic graphs ledger, distributed ledger technology history, cryptocurrency addresses, crypto token 71, transaction hash 47 links and/or IPFS 48 links.

The IPFS 48 is a protocol created by Juan Benet. The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS 48) is a peer-to-peer file system that seeks to connect one or more computers nodes with one or more corresponding files system. IPFS 48 are composed of computer nodes that do not need to trust each other. The programming links using IPSF images or files linking to NFC tags 1 or stickers 24, we can provide a new way to use NFC 1 technology to transfer decentralized 70 information in the health care provider 15 and non-health care provider 15 departments.

The programmed NFC tags 1 or stickers 24 are attached or embedded onto a set of products 33. The following list of products 33 are signs 10, stickers 24, eyewear parts, eyewear accessories 4, and/or medication containers 9. One or more specific embodiments of the present methods and systems used will be described below. The products 33 listed are all used as a method to supply health care provider 15 information instructions, provide prescription information, marketing 12, advertisements, Brand 5 awareness, and develop a connection between eye doctors, health care provider 15 offices, or optical chain stores and patients or customers.

NFC sticker 1 and NFC tag 1 are near-field communication devices that can be pre-programmed by NFC 1 writing technology. Since most new smartphones in the market contain NFC 1 writable and readable systems incorporated into their hardware, we included the embodiment of the set of products 33 with NFC tags 1 to program. Although some smartphones in the market may require an additional mobile application to read or write NFC tags 1, a simple way to download set mobile application is accessible to any app store. This brings ease and facility for any factory, optical chain store, optometrist office and/or health care provider 15 office, supermarket, store, or pharmacy to be able to use such technology to facilitate the use of such method of information transfer.

Most NFC tags 1 or stickers can be pre-programmed with a unique Universal Resource Locator (internet protocol URL link) 53 and/or the or IPFS 48 addresses using a mobile application. The IPFS 48 unlike the traditional data retrieving methods websites, IPFS 48 files are based on their content. The idea to have health care providers 15 offices, optical shops, pharmacies and/or clinics with computing devices that are connected to IPFS 48 systems. Each of these devices are called nodes and can be a personal computer, smartphone, laptop or any computing device with its operating system running and capable of sending/receiving data.

The proposal of using the IPFS 48 protocol is to remove the centralized server and create a combination of a centralized and decentralized 70 network of nodes. Part of the method and system of our patent involves using existing Web and IPFS 48 technology to incorporate centralized and/or decentralized 70 network of nodes to deliver information such as health care provider 15 prescriptions, spectacle prescription 7, advertisement coupons vouchers, medication use instruction, eyewear use instructions, loyalty point systems, sales flyers 60, medical and/or eyewear product information via programmed NFC tags 1 embedded or adapted to particular products 33. This means that we may abandon or combine the concept of using centralized and decentralized 70 systems such as (internet protocol URL link) 53 URLs or may also combine both systems to retrieve data and also use potentially one or more nodes IPFS 48 system to connect information to products 33 across the world. This technique can be capable of storing and sharing health care provider 15 information, sales coupons, sales flyer 60, prescription data between each other via the scan 3 of an NFC 1 tag on the said products 33.

A IPFS 48 systems works by having one or more one or more computer nodes storing parts of one or more files. This means that instead of retrieving the file from one location, you actually retrieve one or more parts of the file from multiple nodes. While the regular centralized system and (internet protocol URL link) 53 URLs linking can also be useful for other added application systems within the embodiment. In FIG. 1, we see an illustration of a method of a human programming information to NFC tag 1 by a programmer (retailer, manufacturer, health care provider 15, optician or employee) according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

On FIG. 1 a human person programming the NFC tags 1 or stickers may be a person in a retailer store, factory, manufacturers and/or business. where the programmer 42 with a smartphone running NFC 1 mobile application can upload and/or write the programming links to the NFC tags 1 that are embedded or adapted to a series of products 33. Where the products 33 used are information signs 10, information stickers 24, eyewear accessories 4, eyewear and/or sometimes medication container 9. Where the programming links can be done via a mobile application and may include links with a unique identifier, (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL links, minted non-fungible tokens 71 links, IPFS 48 links, transaction hash 47, distributed ledger information, and/or any type of information linking can be written on the NFC tags 1 that are on the products 33.

The idea is to let any human user 40 to scan 3 or tap 3 the product with an NFC 1 enabled users smartphone 41 to view and/or upload health care provider 15 prescription information, health care provider 15 prescriptions, telemedicine connection, visual/audio calls, spectacle prescriptions 7, eyewear make model product information; eyewear accessories 4 make model product information, unique identifier and/or business website information. This communication transfer can be done via the information programed on the NFC 1 tag that is adapted to a selection of products 33 where the source of the programming can be prepared via a decentralized 70 and/or central server in accordance with the present disclosure. Where method and system of the types of programming of the NFC 1 sticker 1 and NFC 1 tag can be different for any of the products 33 and its parts.

Where the information involved may also be the use of a combination of health care provider 15 service and product marketing 12. The method and combination of advertisement of one or more of the products 33 with its embedded or adapted NFT tags that used to provide an aggregate or pattern of marketing 12 techniques, loyalty programs and/or marketing 12 strategies. An example (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL is linking consists of using [www.Thedomainname.com] with its file path, parameter string and/or anchor. The (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL, (internet protocol URL link) 53 URL Deep linking and/or Mobile App (internet protocol URL link) 53 URLs/Linking can connect you to the desired website, service and/or mobile application link depending on the programmed information on the near field communication tag or sticker.

Examples can also be using video/audio 59 calling app linking such as https://wa.me/1111X111111. Where the use of Use https://wa.me/<phone number> where the <number> is a communication phone number format. The ability to program the NFT tag 1 with a particular website link built in the messaging system can also be done. In the case of using IPFS 48. An example IPFS 48 consisting of https://IPFS.io/IPFS/QmbxhUxsKSsDjonPXsp5Cz7KxUJmPNoBkBtqMqMzZ4PN5R/image.png, where [content based addressing] is the Hash 47 code, and the image/Page png is the file that identifies the decentralized 70 servers over the (internet protocol URL link) 53. In future setting, a the possibility to add other addresses that may involve interactive application and/or audio/video connection can also occur.

Each near field communication sticker or tag may be unique and may vary in size as described, allowing the NFC 1 tag to be adapted to particular product eyewear parts, signs 10, stickers 24, and/or medication containers 9 when receiving the request. Most smartphones in the market have NFC 1 enabled capabilities, consisting of components, and may be configured to download a mobile application for data communication, storing, or displaying content related to information onto the NFC 1 tag. We can see in FIG. 1 that a user 40 using the mobile application can program desired NFC tags 1 via two different options depending on the tags and product with its products 33 list. The programmer 42 can be anyone with a mobile device running the programming NFC 1 mobile application.

The programmer 42 and user 40 both use portable electronic device such as a smartphones to write or read the NFC tags 1. Also the user 40 can use the smartphone to communicate with central servers or decentralized 70 nodes of computers links. After a company or programmer links their selected NFC 1 and products 33 with the information and connection link needed, it can decide what to do with each product. The scanning 3 user 40 can use his or her NFC 1 capable smartphone to gather the information that was programmed by the programmer's 42 device.
